There is a new milkshake called the “Vivanno” at Starbucks. They’re not particularly good, and Starbucks charges $4.37 for one of them. Now when I loathe a corporation (like Starbucks), I like to hit where it hurts most: their wallet. At the Calgary Folk Festival Starbucks was handing out free coupons for these sub-par smoothies, and so naturally I grabbed a stack. I proceeded to give out most of the stack to friends whom I knew would be more than happy to use them. Myself? I had twenty shakes.
To let you know how gross it was (and why I cannot stand the sight of those things anymore), let me give you some numbers:
- 20 smoothies
- 15 of the Banana Chocolate (which taste like chalk) – 270 calories per smoothie
- 5 of the Orange Mango (which tastes so bland that one settles for the taste of chalk) – 250 calories per smoothie
- $87.40 total cost
- Average waiting time – 5 minutes
- Total waiting time – 1 hour 40 minutes
- Total stores visited – 12
- Total caloric intake – 5300 calories!
Only downside was you actually ingested the shakes.
